Mean the Routine

Sometimes the day goes by so quickly. There's not enough time to exercise, meal prep, eat a healthy meal, meditate, do some yoga, etc. And when we do find time to do it, it's like checking a check-box. Good, exercise is done. But what benefit did you REALLY get from it? And were you compromising your form and potentially hurting yourself because you weren't focused on what you were doing? We live in a fast paced world and it is hard to slow down in a world that is moving so quickly. The thing is, every living thing needs to slow down; needs time to just be; needs time to replenish. How can you do that in such a fast paced world? Check out this episode for one simple technique!

Motivation. It is not an easy thing to maintain. We know what we need to do, but knowing what we need to do just isn't enough to ensure we take action on our goals. Many of the techniques to help with motivation are task oriented; they are left brain focused. The problem with this is it is just not enough. We need to engage our right brain as well as our left brain. Let me tell you more in this episode and help you find ways to reach your goals and the lifestyle you are looking to achieve.

Habits are the actions that play out our thoughts. Have you heard the saying “Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny” by Lao Tzu? 

If we want to change our habits, we have to pay attention to what we do regularly. What we do regularly is guided by what we say, which is guided by what we think. So in order to change habits, it's not enough to just focus on our actions. We have to listen to the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and make sure our thoughts are in alignment with our goals. 

Check out this episode to learn more about how to change the stories we tell ourselves so we can act, talk, and think in alignment with what our lifestyle goals are.

I know one thing about you. You are human. That means you'll make mistakes. That means you'll screw up. That means you'll forget things. That means it's not always going to be easy. That means you'll get caught up in your head. That means you'll listen to your emotions instead of your logic from time to time. That means you're alive. It's easy to beat ourselves up when we don't live up to our standards or expectations. It's not as easy to let it go and be ok with not being perfect. Sometimes we have to push through and do things even when we don't want to. And sometimes we have the best intentions but it still doesn't happen. That's what happened to me over the last week. I didn't want to do my podcast, so I forced myself to. Got it onto my podcast platform, but then stopped there. Really?! So I'm putting it out this week, with a new intro as we all have best laid plans, but if we fall, we must get up. Don't give up. This episode is intended to help you when you're having a hard time motivating yourself.

Self control. We've heard it time and time again. Just use self control. Just avoid the sugar. Just get up in the morning. If it were that easy, would there be a whole sector of the health field dedicated to eating well? If it were that easy, would health coaches and exercise coaches exist? But at the same time, self control IS a thing that we all have but may not be well versed in using. So is self control BS or is it something that we can learn to harness? As humans we have a part of our brain that other creatures do not, making it possible to override the comfort of status quo and develop a new status quo. Let's learn more about all of this in today's episode and ways to strengthen the self control "muscle".

Do you ever wonder why some people seem motivated and others aren't? I wonder if we are looking at motivation all wrong. What if all of us have motivation at some points and lack it at some points. You may want to be motivated to do something, but sometimes motivation isn't there. Maybe there is a reason for this. Maybe there's nothing wrong with you and we just have to look at motivation and change a bit differently.

Kids don't think about biking with their friends as exercise. They're just having fun. We don't "have to" ride bikes with our friends as kids. We "want to". The way we look at something either makes it a "good" thing or a "bad" thing. How are you talking to yourself about your healthy habits? This episode will give you tips to start enjoying your new habits instead of having to do them.

It may or may not come as a surprise that I started my career as a therapist. I run two very separate businesses that do the same thing in two very different ways. In both my therapy and coaching businesses my goal is to help you reach your goals and live the life you desire. This podcast is a peek into my life so you can learn about me and why I'm not just "another" coach putting their shingle up. 

Fair warning that in this episode I talk about Ditch the Excuses, which is my paid membership program, and how I came to create this program.

It's hard to get back on track with lifestyle goals such as health and exercise after vacation, moves, or some other event. Often these things get us right back into old behavior patterns. It becomes hard for the brain to go back and forth and just wants to settle somewhere. It knows the unhealthy lifestyle so it wants to settle there. But that's not what you want. You want to get back on track. You want to focus on your health and wellness goals. You have this plan for yourself and just need some encouragement and a few tools to get back on track.
